The 1993-94 season was Liverpool's 102nd season of football since they were established. This season was disappointing overall, as Liverpool slumped to their lowest league finish (eighth) since the 1962-63 season. Liverpool also performed poorly in both cups, reaching the third and fourth round in the FA Cup and League Cup respectively.
